Jef Geys is a Belgian artist born in Leopoldsburg, Belgium. He studied at the Royal Academy of Antwerp. Geys's oeuvre has focused on the construction of social engagement, the exploration of socio-political contexts, and the fundamental discussion of the language of art's contents, form, and function and thus questions the very basis of the system of art and its mode of operation. His work is strongly linked to his personal life and environment which he files as a collector and categorizer.
